It's not whack, it's a great way to kill time while watching the clock tick ever closer to 5PM on a Friday afternoon at work.

8/17/2007 8:09:09 PM

really? shit. It's awesome.

I'd post it but im afraid since its 1600/1200 that it would throw this thread page off like the 1st one as far as width size.

I'm also starting to think im taking on an unhealthy obsession to this game. Argh!

8/17/2007 11:05:10 PM

I want to see what Gamespot gives this, they still don't have their review up.

8/18/2007 4:20:11 PM

They don't review games until the release.

8/18/2007 4:55:20 PM

my friend said likely monday....

Couple quotes from the IGN review.

Quote :

"If you're debating which version to get, the PC version handles better. In part it's because of the greater precision with the mouse and keyboard, but also with how the plasmids and weapons are selected. With the default settings RMB switches between the two, LMB fires, and you use the mouse wheel instead of a radial menu to select a specific plasmid or weapon. This keeps you rooted in the action to a greater degree than in the Xbox 360 version, since you don't have to keep pausing the game."

Quote :

"The PC version definitely outclasses the Xbox 360, mostly because of the ability to crank the resolution to 1920 x 1200."

Sorry Kainen, I just had to

8/20/2007 7:36:39 AM

they made the pc version better on purpose. kevin levine said it right here. but one thing i can say, theres not way i would give up sitting on my couch with some good sound on my tv that way bigger than most monitors to play this on a pc, and besides when i have friends over to gawk at it, it will be much more entertaining.

this is a long video, but very insightful, and he talks about how they optimized the pc version because they like pc games better somewhere near the end of it

i dont have a problem changing between weapons and plasmids on 360...if you want to use a weapon click right trigger, use a plasmid click left trigger and then the bumpers scroll between the weapons/plasmids...there's no pausing of the game by hitting start or anything

8/20/2007 10:43:39 AM

^ thats just some pc fanboy excuse of why the pc version is better, lol

don't get me wrong, i think both will be awesome, but you can't tell a pc fanboy that, and not everyone that likes it on a pc is a fanboy either

believe me (as you should know) you need this game on a very large screen with surround sound to get the full effect, kinda like the movie 300.

8/20/2007 10:54:37 AM

You can hook up a PC with a big screen TV these days.

8/20/2007 10:55:33 AM

that defeats the purpose of the better resolution man

8/20/2007 10:59:00 AM

PCs have HD graphics cards.

8/20/2007 11:00:13 AM

ok if you want to win fine, go right ahead, and spend mad dollars trying to play a pc version thru your tv.

8/20/2007 11:02:34 AM

uh, if you have a semi-modern lcd/plasma tv they all have standard inputs that all modern graphics cards support. it's really not 'mad cash.'

8/20/2007 11:03:43 AM

hahahah

who the fuck cares, get what you want and do what you want

8/20/2007 11:06:09 AM

Have fun moving your TV to the living room just to play this game, or running a wire all through your house.

8/20/2007 11:14:48 AM

Bioshock for Wii confirmed!!!



[Edited on August 20, 2007 at 12:25 PM. Reason : original picture gave wii too much credit]

8/20/2007 12:21:18 PM

ahahaha

8/20/2007 12:38:28 PM

But you have to make 4 consecutive figure-8 motions to switch between plasmids and weapons

8/20/2007 12:49:33 PM

ok its final, i am buying the pc version and a 2000 dolla rig to play this game because i can't switch weapons efficiently.

8/20/2007 12:51:09 PM

Ok, we get it. You don't want the PC version. Sheesh.

8/20/2007 1:26:58 PM

yeah really

when did this turn from a "wow look at bioshock" thread to "OMG PC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 360!!!!!1111"

8/20/2007 3:17:14 PM

yeah can we just talk about the game everyone! 360, PC, Ti800 calculator - I don't care.

TOMRROW RELEASE BABY

8/20/2007 3:23:32 PM

well, it does involve video games so.... how long did you think it would take?

The PC demo is supposed to be released at 7pm eastern today.

I know it's supposed to be on fileplanet, but don't know if it will be anywhere else.

[Edited on August 20, 2007 at 7:08 PM. Reason : I'm in line there now, 27 minutes.]

8/20/2007 7:01:40 PM

poor wii. i laughed though.

and seedz is right about putting it on the tv defeating the purpose graphic wise at least. the pain in the ass isnt worth the mouse/keyboard unless you have a dedicated pc in your living room already (and one that can run it).

8/20/2007 7:20:03 PM

Fuck Fileplanet, the demo is on Steam. Valve ftw.

Oh, and get new drivers from here.

8/20/2007 7:22:08 PM

the early release of this game made me order stuff to mod my 360. can't wait til it gets here

8/20/2007 7:41:22 PM

Order stuff?

[Edited on August 20, 2007 at 7:44 PM. Reason : Well I guess maybe a SATA card or something.]

8/20/2007 7:44:12 PM

What?

The game is coming out tomorrow, I hope that you enjoy voiding your warranty for no reason.

8/20/2007 7:49:15 PM

Fuck paying for a subscription to file planet for a demo

8/20/2007 7:55:00 PM

I can't remember the last game that had me hyped up to the point where I was ready to buy it the day it came out.

8/20/2007 7:55:55 PM

^^ You don't have to, you just have to have a (free) account, but you will have to wait in line.

"Lack of death penalty keeps things fun, but also keeps things a little too easy."

I really really wish there was a way to turn that off. I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but you know they were compelled to put that in so the average console gamer wouldn't be turned off by the difficulty of the game. Which is silly, because Ninja Gaiden is like hardest game ever.

8/20/2007 8:07:59 PM

ok, i am pretty much going to cancel my gamespot account, and stop reading them now. grag kasavin is gone there are no more real reviewers at gamespot. its a sad day for me.

8/20/2007 8:12:35 PM

^^ see i like a hard game now and then, but i play them for the entertainment not the challenge usually. too easy is obviously bad, but i dont need to be pissed off at a game after 8hrs at work.

cyrion's definition of too easy - no thought to puzzles, barely have to pay attention to complete missions/etc

cyrion's definition of just right - medium, some hard parts, puzzles that require a few tries and/or eventually looking it up if you feel like it

cyrion's definition of too hard - raped even early on in the game. game seems to cheat. puzzles or enemies that are seemingly unkillable based on your luck (what move they decide to choose). even if you look it up you STILL can't complete the part.

8/20/2007 9:39:19 PM

They waited this long to give the lowest review on purpose. Arrogant pricks.

8/20/2007 9:41:49 PM

jeff gertsman is a tool, and he sucks and his credibility is shot. i can't believe that he said this game is only 9/10. he deviated TOO far from the average of the rest of the world, and that shuold tell you something.

[Edited on August 20, 2007 at 9:44 PM. Reason : cancelled my gamespot subscription immediately after reading his review ]

8/20/2007 9:43:08 PM

gamespot is normally the harshest.

8/20/2007 9:44:14 PM

well they just normally lost a subscriber

8/20/2007 9:44:43 PM

thats almost kinda sad.

8/20/2007 9:46:11 PM

it is sad in fact
